Dad's Preview: A truly thought-provoking film about life after death, and a possible version of where we might go. The after-world is overwhelmingly beautiful, like living in an oil painting. There is sweet happiness there and welcomed reunions. However, there's also a darkness. This film really exposed Robin Williams as a serious dramatic actor. Visually, it's breathtaking.
